About the museum关于这座博物馆
This is a museum of English words. You enter an exhibit, see how a word was built, where it has been, and which doors lead onward.这是一座英文单词的博物馆。你进入一件展品,看见一个词怎样造成,它到过哪里,以及哪些门通向下一间。

像看汉字偏旁一样看懂英文单词。
That sentence explains the use. The museum itself is the walk.那句话说明用处。博物馆本身是一次漫游。
There are three ways through the hall. Follow a word, and the relationships carry you. Enter a gallery, and you see a family that shares a root. Take a trail, and a curator has already chosen the order of the rooms.穿过大厅有三条路。跟着一个词走,关系会把你带下去。进入一间展厅,你会看见共有一条根的一族。走上一条路线,房间的次序已由策展人选好。
Each exhibit answers the same five questions. What does the word mean today? How is it built, and is that build still alive in English? Where did it come from? How did the meaning move? What is it honestly connected to?每件展品回答同样的五个问题。这个词今天是什么意思?它怎样造成,这种造法在英语里还活着吗?它从哪里来?意义怎样移动?它诚实地连着什么?
The notes at the foot of an exhibit name the dictionaries behind the outline, and they name the confidence. Where a popular story overreaches the word, the label says so. Uncertainty is left on the wall.展品脚下的笔记写明轮廓背后的词典,也写明把握。流行的故事把词说得太过时,标签会说出来。不确定留在墙上。
There is no course, no score, and no review schedule. The collection is small on purpose. It is for wandering.这里没有课程,没有分数,也没有复习日程。馆藏故意不大。它是用来漫游的。
